If your going for a 14x12 i'd suggest against a 14x14. Go stight for 16x16 the 16x18 or 18x18.

Get the 18", the 14" won't really sound like a floor tom, more like a big rack tom...which they work excellently for, by the way.

Yeah, a 16s pretty low anyway, I like having that high end tone also.

get the taye, they have awesome drums and they also have this really cool piece of hardware that mounts to their floor toms that is a cymbal stand, get the taye

Exports are made of poplar, the Taye drum is made of "cross-laminated birch/basswood." Sounds like Taye would be better.

Taye, just because I hate low end pearl. High end pearl isn't bad but I dislike the tom mounts, I suppose thats irrelevant here anyway.
